The Joyce Theater Tickets

The venue is located at 175 Eighth Ave is New York’s Art and Ballet venue, and is comparable with venues such as the Madison Square Garden and New York City Ballet, among others. The old Elgin Theater – a 1941 movie house – was converted into The Joyce Theater in 1982. This modern dance theater was created by dancers for dance.

The Joyce Theater – In Brief

Over the years, since its opening, The Joyce Theater has hosted more than 200 different national and international, as well as New York based dance companies.

Originally a revival movie house, the Elgin Theater was shut down when it started showing pornographic movies in its hall. Architect Hugh Hardy took two years to redesign, renovate and convert the Elgin Theater into what we know today as The Joyce Theater. Hardy preserved and expanded the patterned brick facade of the art-deco building, but completed gutted the interiors. He then, to serve the needs of small and medium dance companies, created a 472-seat theater – which we would find difficult to imagine without in the world of dance.

The Joyce Theater is the outcome of the vision of a number of dedicated and courageous individuals, with Lu Esther T. Mertz - on behalf of the non-profit dance community - being the foremost among them. It was her leadership and support, along with her sustained commitment to The Joyce Theater that made its existence possible. In return, appreciating her help and generosity, the Theater was named after her daughter – Joyce.

The Joyce Theater has under its wings, in Lower Manhattan, a dance center called Joyce SoHo that has two beautifully equipped dance studios for rehearsals and performance. The Joyce Theater is one of the foremost dance performance venues in New York. This premiere venue attracts more than 140,000 people to its dance and ballet shows, each year.
